OBJECTIVE: It was aimed to retrospectively investigate the patients undergoing laparoscopic obesity surgery in our hospital in the study. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We analyzed patients' data who underwent laparoscopic obesity surgery by a single surgeon between February 1, 2014, and December 1, 2018. Demographic features, postoperative complications, hospital stay, postoperative discharge, and mortality were recorded. RESULTS: A total of 89 patients, were operated over a 4 - years period. The mean age of the patients was 41 ± 11.44, and the mean Body Mass Indexes (BMI) were 46.26 ± 6.74. Sixty-six of the patients were female and 23 were male and 44.9 % of our patients had an additional disease. Nine percent of the patients had difficult intubation (intubated via fiberoptic bronchoscope), 67.4 % of the patients were sent to the surgery ward, 32.6 % were sent to the intensive care unit. Patients requiring intensive care unit was significantly higher in patients with BMI above 50 (p = 0.011). Nine percent of the patients had at least one postoperative complication whereas mortality was seen in 2.2 % of them. The mean surgery time of the patients was 120.09 ± 68.09 minutes and the mean hospital stay was 6.76 ± 4.62 days. CONCLUSIONS: Obesity is a chronic progressive and life-threatening disease due to the accompanying diseases. In accordance with the literature, although the majority of patients are women and their average age is low, 44.9% of them have an additional disease. We believe that the examination of perioperative anesthesia and surgical practices, patient results, and complications will be important in increasing the success rate of patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
